New MMORPG started tonight – let the craziest beasts play you
Chimeraland is a new MMORPG for PC, Android and iOS. In it you explore mystical countries from ancient Chinese stories. A special feature of the game is the character editor, in which you can play not only classic people, but also animals. The game was released on January 6th, even if it is currently only playable on the PC in Germany.
What kind of game is this? Chimeraland is a Free2Play MMORPG in which the crazy character editor is causing a stir.
Because you can cross a person there with a wide variety of animal species, from which an octopus, a bird, a rhinoceros or a panda bear on two legs can emerge. You can also color the animals differently and adjust their proportions and appearance according to your wishes.
However, there are also classic people in female, male and very childlike forms.
You can see what can come out of the editor in this screenshot. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch decided on a shark that he cut a corner in the head, put the eyes as wide apart as possible and made the legs as small as possible:
Apart from this editor, the game offers typical MMORPG fare:
- There is a classless system so armor and weapons determine your play style
- You follow a story that is told about the main quest
- There is an open game world with 4 continents without loading screens, which is graphically reminiscent of Genshin Impact
- There are collecting and crafting systems, through which you – like in New World – can also actively level
- You can build your own house anywhere in the open world
- You can sprint with Shift and jump with spacebar
- There is PvE and PvP content, although it is not entirely clear what exactly is waiting for you in the endgame
- There is a real money shop with cosmetic content, XP buff, boxes with materials and automatic completion of daily quests as well as a buyable battle pass
In addition, you should be able to tame a wide variety of animal species as pets or mounts in the game. There should even be a breeding function to create new creatures from your animals. This can also create gruesome monsters.
The beta review from YouTuber Sh1n Boo gives you an insight into the MMORPG:
Chimeraland was released in Asia tonight and can also be played on the PC
When does the game come out? The release of the new MMORPG took place on January 6th at 0:01 am our time. However, there is a region lock for the game. For now, Chimeraland only appeared in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
You can therefore neither install it on your smartphone via the Google Play Store nor the App Store. But the download on the PC works fine from Germany, as well as the creation of an account. You can download the official website of Chimeraland start.
Is it worth the download? It depends. I’ve already had a lot of fun with the character editor and that’s a clear recommendation.
The gameplay, however, looks rather awkward in the first few minutes and lags occur because the servers are located in Asia. You attack with the mouse button and use special skills on the Q and E keys, although it could be that more skills are unlocked with a later level.
The MMORPG is also available in English, which is why I can play it without any problems. The porting for the PC also looks good at first. The interface is tidy and understandable and the mobile origin is only discreetly noticeable.
How do you see Chimeraland? Does the setting speak to you or will you ignore this crazy game? Feel free to write it in the comments.
Also in January, Broken Ranks, a new MMORPG will be released. This relies on a very special combat system:
